Autism only affects the person with Autism - injustice can effect the family as a whole if they cannot get easy access to Autism services, but Autism doesn't affect relationships of the Autistic persons parents. This is a classic tactic of Autism Speaks, they tell people that Autism ruins families and relationships in order to frame Autism as something terrible so that people give them more money - please don't listen to anti-Autism rhetoric from Autism Speaks.
